Talking to a loved one about in-home care can be emotional—especially if they feel resistant or unsure.
In this Compassionate Care Tips video, Reed and Alex share ways to ease that conversation:
✔️ Listen and validate their concerns
✔️ Use gentler language—“helper” or “assistant” instead of “caregiver”
✔️ Reframe the need: “ I could really use the extra support”
You’re not alone in this. The right words—and the right care—can make all the difference.
